Samsung R0 not-so-boldly goes where most PMPs have gone before it
Samsung's certainly got the portable media player design down to a cold, cold science. There isn't much in the way of artistic license here, so let's get on with the specs, shall we? 2.6-inch TFT LCD, microSD slot, FM radio, second-language acquisition programs, text / photo viewer, and video codec support including DivX, XviD, and H.264. Your color choices, with the appropriately inappropriate adjectives, are Indie Black, Techno Silver, and Rap Pink. Korean-only, this little guy will line shelves at KRW139,000 (US $120) with 4GB internal memory, and KRW179,000 (US $155) for 8GB.
Leaked Samsung YP-M1 shows a more colorful spin on its DAP lineup
We can't say we've ever been too excited by Samsung's Yepp series -- not that it's bad, just nothing particularly worth writing home about. If this pic is any indication of what's to come, however, we are suddenly a bit more interested. The story starts in late June, where an Anything but iPod forum member found a Bluetooth SIG for a then unknown "Samsung MP3 Player" with a 3.3-inch widescreen display and the name YP-M1. Then, just a few days ago on the same thread, a newcomer posts the above picture, presumably being the M1 itself. From what we can glean, it'll be a touch screen with a built-in mic (for the voice recorder) and support for flash. That's not a lot to go by, frankly, but it's hard to see where Sammy's P series would fit with this on the horizon.[Thanks, Yuki]
Samsung YP-Q1 La Fleur edition shows its efflorescence
A floral Samsung YP-Q1? Yepp, it is. The company's penchant for prettying up its PMP series continues with the YP-Q1 "La Fleur" edition. It's got a new casing and matching UI, but we're not expecting a fresh bouquet to win us over after a disappointing hands-on with it last April. Mum's the word on pricing or availability.
